4. External Services & Typography

To ensure consistent and high-performance visual presentation across all devices, this site utilizes web fonts provided by Google (Google Fonts).

Google maintains rigorous compliance with international data privacy frameworks.

We retain personal communication data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the operational purpose of the inquiry or to comply with statutory Swiss commercial and tax retention requirements. Where technical infrastructure providers process data outside Switzerland or the EU/EEA (e.g., in the United States), adequate data protection levels are ensured via Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) and certified data privacy frameworks.
